Rainin' in Kyoto, it's floodin' the streets
I'm nursin' a coffee from a vendin' machine
I saw the god of rice, and a fox with a key, key
I woke up blind with a headache, grindin' my teeth
Confused and alone, been takin' pills to sleep
They soften your absence, but they don't let me dream, dream
Rainin' in Kyoto, my breath turns into steam
I'll buy you a candle, not even sure what it means
I'm cursed to the matches, I'm drownin' my grief, grief
An old man stood close by, smiled at me
I rang the bell like he did, I told you, "I'm sorry"
A makeshift funeral, I tried settin' you free
You're half asleep
And I bought you a radio
To drown out the machines
Hospital light
You asked about the weather
Wished that they'd let you outside
Rainin' in Kyoto, I'm starting to shake
They'll hold a service tomorrow, I'm an ocean away
Reach into my pocket, found a small paper crane
Well, it's been over a year now, April turns into May
I barely stopped movin', I've been so fuckin' afraid
Too much of a coward to even visit your grave
You're half awake
And I bought you a radio to play
The blues away
With my hand to hold
You asked about the weather
Wished they'd let you die at home
You're half awake
And I bought you a radio to play
The blues away
Hospital light
You asked about the weather
Wished that they'd let you outside
Goodnight, goodnight
Goodbye
